    This gets the test working on Solaris.  It seems a little hokey to me,
    but the test passed on Linux and Solaris, hopefully other platforms too.

    Complete revamp of PCBuild8 directory.  Use subdirectories for each project under the main pcbuild solution.  Now make extensive use of property sheets to simplify project configuration. x64 build fully supported, and the process for building PGO version (Profiler Guided Optimization) simplified. All projects are now present, except _ssl, which needs to be reimplemented.  Also, some of the projects that require external libraries need extra work to fully compile on x64.

    When accessing the .value attribute of a c_wchar_p instance, and the

    Fix problems in x64 build that were discovered by the testsuite:
    - Reenable modules on x64 that had been disabled aeons ago for Itanium.
    - Cleared up confusion about compilers for 64 bit windows.  There is only Itanium and x64.  Added macros MS_WINI64 and MS_WINX64 for those rare cases where it matters, such as the disabling of modules above.
    - Set target platform (_WIN32_WINNT and WINVER) to 0x0501 (XP) for x64, and 0x0400 (NT 4.0) otherwise, which are the targeted minimum platforms.
    - Fixed thread_nt.h.  The emulated InterlockedCompareExchange function didn?\194?\180t work on x64, probaby due to the lack of a "volatile" specifier.  Anyway, win95 is no longer a target platform.
    - Itertools module used wrong constant to check for overflow in count()
    - PyInt_AsSsize_t couldn't deal with attribute error when accessing the __long__ member.
    - PyLong_FromSsize_t() incorrectly specified that the operand were unsigned.

    With these changes, the x64 passes the testsuite, for those modules present.

    Fix a bug in test.test_support.open_urlresource().

    If the call to requires() doesn't precede the filesystem check, we get the following situation:
    1. ./python Lib/test/regrtest.py test_foo # test needs urlfetch, not enabled, so skipped
    2. ./python Lib/test/regrtest.py -u urlfetch test_foo # test runs
    3. ./python Lib/test/regrtest.py test_foo # test runs (!)

    By moving the call to requires() *before* the filesystem check, the fact that fetched files are cached on the local disk becomes an implementation detail, rather than a semantics-changing point of note.

-\chapter{Standard Windowing Interface}
-
-The modules in this chapter are available only on those systems where
-the STDWIN library is available.  STDWIN runs on \UNIX{} under X11 and
-on the Macintosh.  See CWI report CS-R8817.
-
-\warning{Using STDWIN is not recommended for new
-applications.  It has never been ported to Microsoft Windows or
-Windows NT, and for X11 or the Macintosh it lacks important
-functionality --- in particular, it has no tools for the construction
-of dialogs.  For most platforms, alternative, native solutions exist
-(though none are currently documented in this manual): Tkinter for
-\UNIX{} under X11, native Xt with Motif or Athena widgets for \UNIX{}
-under X11, Win32 for Windows and Windows NT, and a collection of
-native toolkit interfaces for the Macintosh.}
-
-
-\section{\module{stdwin} ---
-         Platform-independent Graphical User Interface System}
-
-\declaremodule{builtin}{stdwin}
-\modulesynopsis{Older graphical user interface system for X11 and Macintosh.}
-
-
-This module defines several new object types and functions that
-provide access to the functionality of STDWIN.
-
-On \UNIX{} running X11, it can only be used if the \envvar{DISPLAY}
-environment variable is set or an explicit
-\programopt{-display} \var{displayname} argument is passed to the
-Python interpreter.
-
-Functions have names that usually resemble their C STDWIN counterparts
-with the initial `w' dropped.  Points are represented by pairs of
-integers; rectangles by pairs of points.  For a complete description
-of STDWIN please refer to the documentation of STDWIN for C
-programmers (aforementioned CWI report).
-
-\subsection{Functions Defined in Module \module{stdwin}}
-\nodename{STDWIN Functions}
-
-The following functions are defined in the \module{stdwin} module:
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{open}{title}
-Open a new window whose initial title is given by the string argument.
-Return a window object; window object methods are described
-below.\footnote{
-	The Python version of STDWIN does not support draw procedures;
-	all drawing requests are reported as draw events.}
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{getevent}{}
-Wait for and return the next event.
-An event is returned as a triple: the first element is the event
-type, a small integer; the second element is the window object to which
-the event applies, or
-\code{None}
-if it applies to no window in particular;
-the third element is type-dependent.
-Names for event types and command codes are defined in the standard
-module \refmodule{stdwinevents}.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{pollevent}{}
-Return the next event, if one is immediately available.
-If no event is available, return \code{()}.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{getactive}{}
-Return the window that is currently active, or \code{None} if no
-window is currently active.  (This can be emulated by monitoring
-WE_ACTIVATE and WE_DEACTIVATE events.)
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{listfontnames}{pattern}
-Return the list of font names in the system that match the pattern (a
-string).  The pattern should normally be \code{'*'}; returns all
-available fonts.  If the underlying window system is X11, other
-patterns follow the standard X11 font selection syntax (as used e.g.
-in resource definitions), i.e. the wildcard character \code{'*'}
-matches any sequence of characters (including none) and \code{'?'}
-matches any single character.
-On the Macintosh this function currently returns an empty list.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{setdefscrollbars}{hflag, vflag}
-Set the flags controlling whether subsequently opened windows will
-have horizontal and/or vertical scroll bars.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{setdefwinpos}{h, v}
-Set the default window position for windows opened subsequently.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{setdefwinsize}{width, height}
-Set the default window size for windows opened subsequently.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{getdefscrollbars}{}
-Return the flags controlling whether subsequently opened windows will
-have horizontal and/or vertical scroll bars.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{getdefwinpos}{}
-Return the default window position for windows opened subsequently.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{getdefwinsize}{}
-Return the default window size for windows opened subsequently.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{getscrsize}{}
-Return the screen size in pixels.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{getscrmm}{}
-Return the screen size in millimetres.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{fetchcolor}{colorname}
-Return the pixel value corresponding to the given color name.
-Return the default foreground color for unknown color names.
-Hint: the following code tests whether you are on a machine that
-supports more than two colors:
-\begin{verbatim}
-if stdwin.fetchcolor('black') != \
-          stdwin.fetchcolor('red') != \
-          stdwin.fetchcolor('white'):
-    print 'color machine'
-else:
-    print 'monochrome machine'
-\end{verbatim}
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{setfgcolor}{pixel}
-Set the default foreground color.
-This will become the default foreground color of windows opened
-subsequently, including dialogs.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{setbgcolor}{pixel}
-Set the default background color.
-This will become the default background color of windows opened
-subsequently, including dialogs.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{getfgcolor}{}
-Return the pixel value of the current default foreground color.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{getbgcolor}{}
-Return the pixel value of the current default background color.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{setfont}{fontname}
-Set the current default font.
-This will become the default font for windows opened subsequently,
-and is also used by the text measuring functions \function{textwidth()},
-\function{textbreak()}, \function{lineheight()} and
-\function{baseline()} below.  This accepts two more optional
-parameters, size and style:  Size is the font size (in `points').
-Style is a single character specifying the style, as follows:
-\code{'b'} = bold,
-\code{'i'} = italic,
-\code{'o'} = bold + italic,
-\code{'u'} = underline;
-default style is roman.
-Size and style are ignored under X11 but used on the Macintosh.
-(Sorry for all this complexity --- a more uniform interface is being designed.)
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{menucreate}{title}
-Create a menu object referring to a global menu (a menu that appears in
-all windows).
-Methods of menu objects are described below.
-Note: normally, menus are created locally; see the window method
-\method{menucreate()} below.
-\warning{The menu only appears in a window as long as the object
-returned by this call exists.}
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{newbitmap}{width, height}
-Create a new bitmap object of the given dimensions.
-Methods of bitmap objects are described below.
-Not available on the Macintosh.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{fleep}{}
-Cause a beep or bell (or perhaps a `visual bell' or flash, hence the
-name).
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{message}{string}
-Display a dialog box containing the string.
-The user must click OK before the function returns.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{askync}{prompt, default}
-Display a dialog that prompts the user to answer a question with yes or
-no.  Return 0 for no, 1 for yes.  If the user hits the Return key, the
-default (which must be 0 or 1) is returned.  If the user cancels the
-dialog, \exception{KeyboardInterrupt} is raised.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{askstr}{prompt, default}
-Display a dialog that prompts the user for a string.
-If the user hits the Return key, the default string is returned.
-If the user cancels the dialog, \exception{KeyboardInterrupt} is
-raised.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{askfile}{prompt, default, new}
-Ask the user to specify a filename.  If \var{new} is zero it must be
-an existing file; otherwise, it must be a new file.  If the user
-cancels the dialog, \exception{KeyboardInterrupt} is raised.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{setcutbuffer}{i, string}
-Store the string in the system's cut buffer number \var{i}, where it
-can be found (for pasting) by other applications.  On X11, there are 8
-cut buffers (numbered 0..7).  Cut buffer number 0 is the `clipboard'
-on the Macintosh.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{getcutbuffer}{i}
-Return the contents of the system's cut buffer number \var{i}.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{rotatecutbuffers}{n}
-On X11, rotate the 8 cut buffers by \var{n}.  Ignored on the
-Macintosh.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{getselection}{i}
-Return X11 selection number \var{i.}  Selections are not cut buffers.
-Selection numbers are defined in module \refmodule{stdwinevents}.
-Selection \constant{WS_PRIMARY} is the \dfn{primary} selection (used
-by \program{xterm}, for instance); selection \constant{WS_SECONDARY}
-is the \dfn{secondary} selection; selection \constant{WS_CLIPBOARD} is
-the \dfn{clipboard} selection (used by \program{xclipboard}).  On the
-Macintosh, this always returns an empty string.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{resetselection}{i}
-Reset selection number \var{i}, if this process owns it.  (See window
-method \method{setselection()}).
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{baseline}{}
-Return the baseline of the current font (defined by STDWIN as the
-vertical distance between the baseline and the top of the
-characters).
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{lineheight}{}
-Return the total line height of the current font.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{textbreak}{str, width}

-\var{width}
-bits wide when drawn in the current font.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{textwidth}{str}
-Return the width in bits of the string when drawn in the current font.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{connectionnumber}{}
-\funcline{fileno}{}
-(X11 under \UNIX{} only) Return the ``connection number'' used by the
-underlying X11 implementation.  (This is normally the file number of
-the socket.)  Both functions return the same value;
-\method{connectionnumber()} is named after the corresponding function in
-X11 and STDWIN, while \method{fileno()} makes it possible to use the
-\module{stdwin} module as a ``file'' object parameter to
-\function{select.select()}.  Note that if \constant{select()} implies that
-input is possible on \module{stdwin}, this does not guarantee that an
-event is ready --- it may be some internal communication going on
-between the X server and the client library.  Thus, you should call
-\function{stdwin.pollevent()} until it returns \code{None} to check for
-events if you don't want your program to block.  Because of internal
-buffering in X11, it is also possible that \function{stdwin.pollevent()}
-returns an event while \function{select()} does not find \module{stdwin} to
-be ready, so you should read any pending events with
-\function{stdwin.pollevent()} until it returns \code{None} before entering
-a blocking \function{select()} call.

-(a) another application takes ownership of the selection; or
-(b) the window is deleted; or
-(c) the application clears ownership by calling
-\function{stdwin.resetselection(\var{i})}.  When another application

-Methods of text-edit objects are described below.
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[window]{setactive}{}

-will generate a WE_ACTIVATE event (and a WE_DEACTIVATE event in case
-another window in this application became inactive).
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[window]{close}{}
-Discard the window object.  It should not be used again.
-\end{methoddesc}

-\begin{methoddesc}[drawing]{setfgcolor}{}
-\funcline{setbgcolor}{}
-\funcline{getfgcolor}{}
-\funcline{getbgcolor}{}
-These functions are similar to the corresponding functions described
-above for the \module{stdwin}
-module, but affect or return the colors currently used for drawing
-instead of the global default colors.
-When a drawing object is created, its colors are set to the window's
-default colors, which are in turn initialized from the global default
-colors when the window is created.
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[drawing]{setfont}{}
-\funcline{baseline}{}
-\funcline{lineheight}{}
-\funcline{textbreak}{}
-\funcline{textwidth}{}
-These functions are similar to the corresponding functions described
-above for the \module{stdwin}
-module, but affect or use the current drawing font instead of
-the global default font.
-When a drawing object is created, its font is set to the window's
-default font, which is in turn initialized from the global default
-font when the window is created.
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[drawing]{bitmap}{point, bitmap, mask}
-Draw the \var{bitmap} with its top left corner at \var{point}.
-If the optional \var{mask} argument is present, it should be either
-the same object as \var{bitmap}, to draw only those bits that are set
-in the bitmap, in the foreground color, or \code{None}, to draw all
-bits (ones are drawn in the foreground color, zeros in the background
-color).
-Not available on the Macintosh.
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[drawing]{cliprect}{rect}
-Set the ``clipping region'' to a rectangle.
-The clipping region limits the effect of all drawing operations, until
-it is changed again or until the drawing object is closed.  When a
-drawing object is created the clipping region is set to the entire
-window.  When an object to be drawn falls partly outside the clipping
-region, the set of pixels drawn is the intersection of the clipping
-region and the set of pixels that would be drawn by the same operation
-in the absence of a clipping region.
-\end{methoddesc}

-Bitmaps are currently not available on the Macintosh.
-
-The following methods are defined:
-

-The \var{code} must be one of \constant{WC_LEFT}, \constant{WC_RIGHT}, 
-\constant{WC_UP} or \constant{WC_DOWN} (see module
-\refmodule{stdwinevents}).
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[text-edit]{draw}{rect}
-Pass a draw event to the text-edit block.
-The rectangle specifies the redraw area.
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[text-edit]{event}{type, window, detail}

-to \code{(0, 0)}.
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[text-edit]{setview}{rect}
-Set the view rectangle to \var{rect}.  If \var{rect} is \code{None},
-viewing mode is reset.  In viewing mode, all output from the text-edit
-object is clipped to the viewing rectangle.  This may be useful to
-implement your own scrolling text subwindow.
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[text-edit]{close}{}
-Discard the text-edit object.  It should not be used again.
-\end{methoddesc}

-Here is a minimal example of using STDWIN in Python.
-It creates a window and draws the string ``Hello world'' in the top
-left corner of the window.
-The window will be correctly redrawn when covered and re-exposed.
-The program quits when the close icon or menu item is requested.

-
-
-This module contains useful operations on rectangles.
-A rectangle is defined as in module \refmodule{stdwin}:
-a pair of points, where a point is a pair of integers.
-For example, the rectangle
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-(10, 20), (90, 80)
-\end{verbatim}
-
-is a rectangle whose left, top, right and bottom edges are 10, 20, 90
-and 80, respectively.  Note that the positive vertical axis points
-down (as in \refmodule{stdwin}).
-
-The module defines the following objects:
-
-\begin{excdesc}{error}
-The exception raised by functions in this module when they detect an
-error.  The exception argument is a string describing the problem in
-more detail.
-\end{excdesc}
-
-\begin{datadesc}{empty}
-The rectangle returned when some operations return an empty result.
-This makes it possible to quickly check whether a result is empty:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
->>> import rect
->>> r1 = (10, 20), (90, 80)
->>> r2 = (0, 0), (10, 20)
->>> r3 = rect.intersect([r1, r2])
->>> if r3 is rect.empty: print 'Empty intersection'
-Empty intersection
->>> 
-\end{verbatim}
-\end{datadesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{is_empty}{r}

-A rectangle
-\code{(\var{left}, \var{top}), (\var{right}, \var{bottom})}
-is empty if
-\begin{math}\var{left} \geq \var{right}\end{math} or
-\begin{math}\var{top} \geq \var{bottom}\end{math}.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{intersect}{list}
-Returns the intersection of all rectangles in the list argument.
-It may also be called with a tuple argument.  Raises

-\constant{rect.empty} if the intersection of the rectangles is empty.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{union}{list}
-Returns the smallest rectangle that contains all non-empty rectangles in

-\constant{rect.empty} if the list is empty or all its rectangles are
-empty.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{pointinrect}{point, rect}
-Returns true if the point is inside the rectangle.  By definition, a
-point \code{(\var{h}, \var{v})} is inside a rectangle
-\code{(\var{left}, \var{top}), (\var{right}, \var{bottom})} if
-\begin{math}\var{left} \leq \var{h} < \var{right}\end{math} and
-\begin{math}\var{top} \leq \var{v} < \var{bottom}\end{math}.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{inset}{rect, (dh, dv)}
-Returns a rectangle that lies inside the \var{rect} argument by
-\var{dh} pixels horizontally and \var{dv} pixels vertically.  If
-\var{dh} or \var{dv} is negative, the result lies outside \var{rect}.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{rect2geom}{rect}
